Well if you feel that way then great, I’m glad you like them and you’re entitled to your opinion. My experience with them has been that I’m not fond of them. There’s a reason there’s a wait list for Diamonds and not for Rasson. There’s also a reason Diamonds cost more. My initial reply regarding my reference to MR’s role in all of this, is that prior to MR taking what is essentially a large bribe to name Rasson its official table and using them, Rasson wasn’t really known or being utilized outside of Asia, especially not here in America. Not many new pool halls are opening here nowadays, but recently 2 new ones opened in my area, both installing Rassons as their tables, with that hideous gray cloth. When I inquired to the proprietors why they made this choice, they both referred to “it’s what the pros are playing on now”. So while I agree that MR can do what they want to do on THEIR tour and accept large financial deals from companies to use an inferior product, it’s having an effect in the pool world in that it’s influencing halls to use them. Frankly I don’t care what the pros play on, but I feel they deserve to play on the best, not on who pays MR a pile of money. Also with as few places as there are to play, I’m disillusioned to see the domino effect of halls utilizing them over better equipment like Diamonds. That’s my opinion of it, YMMV.
